Features: Truly understanding the human brain is the only way to develop intelligent machines! — Jeff Hawkins
Jeff Hawkins, the inventor of the PalmPilot, believes he can make machines work creatively like humans. Big talk? Maybe. But all experts dare not laugh. — Business Week
The Future of Artificial Intelligence is a groundbreaking work that for the first time clearly interprets the long-awaited major theory about the functions of the human brain. It is filled with wise ideas and essential reading on the principles of how the human brain works. — Michael Merzenich, Professor of Neurology at the University of California and member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences
The book The Future of Artificial Intelligence will inevitably have a profound impact, and everyone should read it. In 1943, physicist Erwin Schr?dinger's classic work What is Life? solved the top puzzle of the time—how genetic information is stored in molecules. And this book is what truly helps people understand the structure of the human brain. The two books are hard to compare. — James D. Watson, Head of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and 1962 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine
The book written by Jeff Hawkins is unique, novel, and groundbreaking, making it highly readable. It proposes new theoretical concepts for the perceptual, cognitive, behavioral, and intelligent functions of the human cerebral cortex. Many chapters, especially those on intelligence, creativity, and the silicon brain, will leave readers deeply impressed and reflective. — Eric R. Kandel, 2002 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine
The scientific literacy and humanistic spirit that Jeff Hawkins, the inventor of the PalmPilot, demonstrates in this book are the secrets of every successful individual who has been recorded in history. — Johnnesheim, a renowned U.S. entrepreneurship coach
The Future of Artificial Intelligence is brilliant and well-organized, one of the most important books in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence in decades. — Professor Malcolm Young of the University of Newcastle, Australia
Read this book and burn the others! Jeff Hawkins will change people's perception of intelligence and intelligent machines. — John Doerr, partner at venture capital firm KPCB
The book consists of eight chapters: Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, the Human Brain, Memory, A New Framework for Intelligence Theory, How the Cerebral Cortex Works, Consciousness and Creativity, and the Future of Intelligence.
